Description
Kirkland-based iMiracle Project has so far helped more than 40,000 Ukrainians and delivered 14 thousand pounds of humanitarian aid since Russia instigated war in the country earlier this year.
Founder Serge Bagdasarov said after beating stage 3 brain cancer, he wanted to create something to give back to the world. His organization originally focused on helping kids through sports until February 2022, when Russia invaded.
By March of 2022, Bagadasarov shifted his focus to Ukrainian relief efforts.
“I’m Armenian and have family in Ukrainian and Russia,” he said.
His heart led the way as he rallied community support to send financial aid and medical supplies more than 5,000 miles away.
Helping refugees cross the border in Poland and Romania was phase one.
“The key to our efforts is working with vetted individuals and organizations on the ground in Ukraine so we know our impact,” Bagdasarov said.
With only a few dedicated volunteers, iMiracle Project has made a substantial impact over the past year. Financial donations of more than $850,000 have been utilized by more than 220 volunteers who facilitated medical supply shipments to hospitals and orphanages in Ukraine.
